One more way to do this :- Let the interior angles be a,b,c,d in the clockwise direction. Then a+b+c+d = 360 ...(a closed quadrilateral adds angle to 360) So, (180-x) + (180-y) + (180-w) + (180-z) = 360 720 - (x+y+w+z) = 360 x+y+w+z = 360 x + y = 360 - (w + z) ... We need to know the values of w and...

Total (T) = Beer (B) + Wine (W) - Both (H) + None (N) We need to determine N. Now, T = 320 and W = 200 So, 320 = B + 200 - H + N So, N = 320 - (B + 200 - H) = 120 - B + H Statement 1: B = N So, N = 120 - N + H So, 2N = 120 + H As we don't know H, we cannot determine N. So, statement 1 is not suffic...
